Are there any 1/10th scale rigs out there or only 1/14th? Seems like all RCs are getting bigger but the rigs stay the same size.

I have some 1/10 scale trucks and equipment but they were built from scratch.

Do you ever get requests for 1/10 trailers?

Yeah, it seems like 1:12 and 1:14 is it unless you want to custom fabricate stuff.

If you want quality rangefinder binoculars like these (https://www.villagevoice.com/best-rangefinder-binoculars/) and want a normal car or truck, 1/10 is VERY popular. On road, off road, race, drift, whatever ya want they've got you covered.

If you want a semi it's usually 1/14 or 1/16 scale, because a tractor + a 40 to 53' trailer is something like a 4 foot setup instead of over 7 feet long. Some crawler type millitary trucks go up to around 1/12 scale, but i don't remember anybody doing a production on-road semi with trailer.

Its kind of like how 1/4 or 1/5 scale isn't that popular because it's also just too big and too expensive.

Why is 1:10 not very popular?
